Daniel Negreanu is setting poker Twitter ablaze with his point of views and more. Be it his 2022 profit figures or applauding World Series Of Poker (WSOP) for its impeccable 2023 schedule, ‘KidPoker’ is voicing his opinions. But there is something DNegs did that caught our attention! The Canadian pro shared a video snippet of his interview with Lex Fridman wherein he talks about Dan Bilzerian earning a cool $100 Million from poker.
The King of Instagram—Dan Bilzerian has a net worth of $200 Million. But Fridman’s interview seems to have thrown a curve ball at ‘KidPoker’ wherein the pro is questioned about Bilzerian making $100 Million in poker winnings. Negreanu looks cool as a cucumber and shares his thoughts on that burning topic.
The GGPoker Ambassador says, “Dan Bilzerian is not a top level player, like the guys you see on TV. But he probably makes more money than they do because he plays with people who are far below his skill levels. Part of the skill of being a poker player is to find situations, you are profitable, regardless of your skill level.”
When asked about the trust fund baby making $50 to 100 Million from playing poker, Negreanu was quick with his answer. He added, “From what I know about the private games, the types of players and stakes on which they play, I absolutely believe that Dan has made… I don’t know how many millions.

Be it $50 or whatever, it wouldn’t surprise me if you play in these games, and within a year or if you find the right businessman who has way too much Bitcoin money, and you take him for $20 Million in one night. I absolutely could see it. I don’t see any reason why. Where Bilzerian got his money initially from that open for interpretation… from his father or whatever. Did Dan Bilzerian make a bunch of money playing poker? Absolutely no question!”

Negreanu answered the most pressing query in the poker world with a no-nonsense face. The six-time WSOP bracelet winner indeed believes that Bilzerian surely must have made $100 Million from poker. But the Super High Roller Bowl VII winner made sure to explain that Bilzerian isn’t the brightest star in the poker galaxy and how Bilzerian could have made all that money by playing against those who are just about average and have boatloads of money to throw around.
